Abstract
Currently, protein-based hydrogels are widely applied in soft materials, tissue engineering and implantable scaffolds owing to their excellent biocompatibility, and degradability. However, most protein-based hydrogels are soft brittle. In this study, a ductile and mechanically enhanced bovine serum albumin (BSA) hydrogel is fabricated by soaking the a 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride/N-hydroxysuccinimide (EDC/NHS) induced BSA hydrogel in (NH4)2SO4 solution. An EDC/NHS coupling reaction induce protein coupling reactions that cause the BSA skeleton to resemble architectural load-bearing walls, protecting the integrity of the hydrogel and preventing collapse. The effects of the BSA and (NH4)2SO4 concentrations on the hydrogel mechanics are evaluated, and the possible strengthening mechanism is discussed. Besides, the highly kosmotropic ions greatly enhance the hydrophobic interaction within BSA gels and dehydration effect and their mechanical properties were significantly enhanced. The various mechanical properties of hydrogels can be regulated over a large window by soaking hydrogels into various ions. And most of them can be washed away, maintaining high biocompatibility of the protein. Importantly, the protein hydrogels prepared by this strategy could also be modified as strain sensors. In a word, this work demonstrates a new, universal method to provide multi-functional, biocompatible, strength enhanced and regulable mechanical pure protein hydrogel, combining the Hofmeister effect with -NH2/-COOH association groups.

Development of antibody-aptamer sandwich-like immunosensor based on RCA and Nicked-PAM CRISPR/Cas12a system for the ultra-sensitive detection of a biomarker. Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1283:341849. [PMID: 37977804 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341849] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2023] [Revised: 09/22/2023] [Accepted: 09/24/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023]
Abstract
Biomarkers are the most sensitive reactants and early indicators of many kinds of diseases. The development of highly sensitive and simple techniques to quantify them is challenging. In this study, based on rolling cycle amplification (RCA) and the Nicked PAM/CRISPR-Cas12a system (RNPC) as a signal reporter, a sandwich-type method was developed using antibody@magnetic beads and aptamer for the high-sensitive detection of the C-reactive protein (CRP). The antibody-antigen (target)-aptamer sandwich-like reaction was coupled to RCA, which can produce hundreds of similar binding sites and are discriminated by CRISPR/Cas12a for signal amplification. The ultrasensitivity is achieved based on the dual-signal enhancing strategy, which involves the special recognition of aptamers, RCA, and trans-cleavage of CRISPR/Cas12a. By incorporating the CRISPR/Cas12a system with cleaved PAM, the nonspecific amplification of the RCA reaction alone was greatly reduced, and the dual signal output of RCA and Cas12a improved the detection sensitivity. Our assay can be performed only in two steps. The first step takes only 20 min of target capture, followed by a one-pot reaction, where the target concentration can be obtained by fluorescence values as long as there are 37 °C reaction conditions. Under optimal conditions, this system detected CRP with high sensitivity. The fabricated biosensor showed detection limits of 0.40 pg/mL in phosphate-buffered saline and 0.73 pg/mL in diluted human serum and a broad linear dynamic range of 1.28 pg/mL to 100 ng/mL within a total readout time of 90 min. The method could be used to perform multi-step signal amplification, which can help in the ultrasensitive detection of other proteins. Overall, the proposed biosensor might be used as an immunosensor biosensor platform.

Abstract
Early diagnosis of C reactive protein (CRP) is critical to applying effective therapies for related diseases. Diagnostic technology in today's healthcare systems is mostly deployed in central laboratories, involves expensive and time-consuming processes, and is operated by specialized personnel. For example, the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), considered the gold standard diagnostic method, is labor-intensive and requires complex procedures such as multiple washing and labeling steps. Due to these limitations of current diagnostic techniques, it is difficult for people to regularly monitor their health and ultimately the disease is more likely to be diagnosed at a later stage. The problem is exacerbated for economically disadvantaged people living in underdeveloped countries. To address these challenges in the traditional diagnostic field, point-of-care (POC) biosensors have emerged as a promising alternative. This allows patients to have their health checked regularly at or near their bedside without resorting to laboratory tests. Nanotechnology-based methods such as biosensors have been extensively researched and developed. Among biosensors, there are also label-free biosensors with high sensitivity that do not require complicated procedures and reduce test time. However, some drawbacks such as high cost, bulky size and need for trained personnel to operate have not been improved. In this review article, we provide an overview of routine methods in CRP diagnosis and then introduce biosensors as a modern, advanced alternative to older methods. Readers of this article can learn about biosensing and its benefits while being aware of the limitations of routine methods.

Abstract
The present research is focused on the development of a biofunctionalized hydrogel with a surface diffractive micropattern as a label-free biosensing platform. The biosensors described in this paper were fabricated with a holographic recording of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) surface micro-structures, which were then transferred into a hydrogel material. Acrylamide-based hydrogels were obtained with free radical polymerization, and propargyl acrylate was added as a comonomer, which allowed for covalent immobilization of thiolated oligonucleotide probes into the hydrogel network, via thiol-yne photoclick chemistry. The comonomer was shown to significantly contribute to the immobilization of the probes based on fluorescence imaging. Two different immobilization approaches were demonstrated: during or after hydrogel synthesis. The second approach showed better loading capacity of the bioreceptor groups. Diffraction efficiency measurements of hydrogel gratings at 532 nm showed a selective response reaching a limit of detection in the complementary DNA strand of 2.47 µM. The label-free biosensor as designed could significantly contribute to direct and accurate analysis in medical diagnosis as it is cheap, easy to fabricate, and works without the need for further reagents.

Abstract
The nanostructuration of biolayers has become a paradigm for exploiting nanoscopic light-matter phenomena for biosensing, among other biomedical purposes. In this work, we present a photopatterning method to create periodic structures of biomacromolecules based on a local and periodic mild denaturation of protein biolayers mediated by UV-laser irradiation. These nanostructures are constituted by a periodic modulation of the protein activity, so they are free of topographic and compositional changes along the pattern. Herein, we introduce the approach, explore the patterning parameters, characterize the resulting structures, and assess their overall homogeneity. This UV-based patterning principle has proven to be an easy, cost-effective, and fast way to fabricate large areas of homogeneous one-dimensional protein patterns (2 min, 15 × 1.2 mm, relative standard deviation ≃ 16%). This work also investigates the implementation of these protein patterns as transducers for diffractive biosensing. Using a model immunoassay, these patterns have demonstrated negligible signal contributions from non-specific bindings and comparable experimental limits of detection in buffer media and in human serum (53 and 36 ng·mL-1 of unlabeled IgG, respectively).

Abstract
The storage of time-stable holographic gratings in hydrogel matrices when the material is immersed in aqueous media is a real challenge at present. The optimization of the storage stages of the holograms must be properly investigated to identify the most suitable development processes. For this reason, this work is focused on the study of the optimization of the washing stages of the hydrogels based on acrylamide and N,N’-methylenebis(acrylamide) once unslanted transmission holograms have been stored. High-performance liquid chromatography and UV-visible measurements have been employed in our system to analyze the composition of the washing solutions. PBST and DMSO:H2O are used as solvents in the washing stages. The diffraction efficiencies are measured during the washing stages and after the storing of the holograms during several days in PBST. Maximum diffraction efficiencies of 38 and 27.6% are reached when PBST and DMSO:H2O are employed, respectively, for the washing process. Holograms show temporal stability after being stored immersed in PBST at 4 °C for 4 days.

Abstract
C-reactive proteins (CRPs; an acute-phase protein) in patients with initial acute cerebral infarction neurological rehabilitation prediction have a significant correlation. In this work, a simple and sensitive anodic-stripping voltammetric (ASV) immunosensing system was innovatively designed for the quantitative screening of target CRPs using biomimetic-mineralized bifunctional antibody-Cu3(PO4)2 nanoflowers as molecular tags. In this system, a monoclonal anti-CRP antibody-anchored microtiter plate was utilized to specifically capture target CRPs from the sample. For detection, a sandwiched immunoreaction mode was employed with the antibody-Cu3(PO4)2 nanoflowers in the presence of analytes. Subsequent ASV measurement of copper ions (Cu2+) released under acidic conditions from the bifunctional nanoflowers was conducted at an in situ prepared mercury film electrode. The introduction of hybrid nanoflowers greatly increased the loading amount of copper ions on the molecular tag, thereby amplifying the detectable signal of electrochemical immunoassay. Meanwhile, factors influencing the analytical properties of the electrochemical immunoassay were investigated in detail. By combining the high-efficiency nanohybrids with signal amplification, the dynamic concentration range of electrochemical immunoassay spanned from 0.01 ng mL-1 to 100 ng mL-1 toward the target CRP. The limit of detection was calculated to be 0.0079 ng mL-1 at 3Sblank criterion. Intra- and interassay imprecisions (relative standard deviations: RSDs) were less than or equal to 6.72%. Good anti-interference ability, long-term storage stability, and acceptable accuracy for the evaluation of human serum specimens were observed during a series of procedures to determine the target protein. In addition, the bifunctional nanoflower-based immunosensing system offers promise for the simple, cost-effective analysis of disease-related proteins.

Abstract
Hydrogel-based holographic sensors consist of a holographic pattern in a responsive hydrogel that diffracts light at different wavelengths depending on the dimensions and refractive index changes in the material. The material composition of hydrogels can be designed to be specifically responsive to different stimuli, and thus the diffraction pattern can correlate with the amount of analyte. According to this general principle, different approaches have been implemented to achieve label-free optical sensors and biosensors, with advantages such as easy fabrication or naked-eye detection. A review on the different approaches, sensing materials, measurement principles, and detection setups, and future perspectives is offered.
